blues brothers for mass carnage... Bourne Identity/Supremacy or Ronin would be good examples of car chages in narrow streets... cant say i have seen the original Gone in 60 seconds, will need to track that down...

Mad Max 1, First chase with the knighRider.
Gone in 60 seconds the new one last chase.
Ronin all car chases were bloody good in that movie.
Even the Transporter had some good ones.

Definitely Ronin or Bullit. Great chases in both. Didn't Steve McQueen even do his own stunt driving in Bullit?

You Guys and Gals are missing the biggest, longest, best car chase movie of all time

"VANISHING POINT" The Original not the remake

the whole movie is a car chase

Ronin was a great car chase, however the weird look on De Niro's face really wrecked it for me! LOL!

Has to be bullit hands down. A Mustang chasing a Charger, if that's not heaven, I don't know what is.

1.) Ronin (S8 versus citroen and Peugot V M5)
2.) Blues Brothers (most carnage)
3.) Bourne Supremacy (sheer rediculiousness)

The only thing I liked about that movie was when he hit the dozer blade.

For me, can't go past Blues Brothers.
"It's 100 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it."

What about Cannonball Run with Burt Reynolds and Dom Delouise? Not a bad one either.

Blues Brothers is the most entertaining purely for the amount of cop cars that get wasted
The Bullitt chase is also awesome especially when McQueen overshoots that street, backs it up and axle tramps up the hill with no sound dubbing.
